It's nice to see a complete summary of what the reputation system should be. I think it might be a good idea to put this in the rules or make it required forum reading so that new members can better understand the magic number beneath their name. You are very smart in how you give out reputation thank you for sharing this with the rest of us.

>required forum reading

Bitch please, people don't even read the rules. We get PMs from new people asking "why can't I use the shoutbox?", or "where can I get the client?", which are both answered in the rules/FAQ page.

I hate to be the one to say it, but to some respect that holds some truth. I've seen many times an admins, team members or other ranked member will get upvotes for simple, posts(and sometimes bad ones IMO) whereas non-ranked members will make quality posts and not get nearly as many. NOT THAT I AM PICKING ON ANYONE: For example when Sirenfal made a topic about the video of a guy getting tasered, funny as shit. I'm glad he posted it, but if someone else did that I bet people would be replying "YT thread" and complaining. Again I stress, this is merely an observation.

This is a valid point, but as Krysk has said before (and I've bitched about in places), just because a thread is about a youtube video, it doesn't have to go in the youtube thread. The youtube thread is not an official thread, but some mods/admins seem to consider it one. Fair enough if someone posts a video that doesn't really have any discussion value, but some videos people post and want to talk about, which are unfairly getting locked witht he reason "YT thread".
